I made a animated snake see video, and a basic script.

+ Code Snippet

-- LUA Script - precede every function and global member with lowercase name of script + '_main'
-- Door Prompts 'Closed' can be opened


function snake_init(e)
end
	 
function snake_main(e)
 PlayerDX = g_Entity[e]['x'] - g_PlayerPosX;
 PlayerDY = g_Entity[e]['y'] - g_PlayerPosY;
 PlayerDZ = g_Entity[e]['z'] - g_PlayerPosZ;
 PlayerDist = math.sqrt(math.abs(PlayerDX*PlayerDX)+math.abs(PlayerDY*PlayerDY)+math.abs(PlayerDZ*PlayerDZ));
  
    SetAnimation(0)
  SetAnimationFrames(0,100);
  SetAnimationSpeed(e,5)
  RotateY(e,3);
  if g_Entity[e]['animating'] == 0 then
  LoopAnimation(e);
  g_Entity[e]['animating'] = 1
  end
  MoveForward(e,25);
    
 end

How can i make it more alive, like attacking if you are to close.

Many Thanks.

Did you make the strike animation also?

I would start with the AI_fastzombie script. The zombies only use a few animations to make them work, But they work on range from the player. Making it a great custom character script.

Copy it and change the name and that would be a great script to start with.

Let me know if that helps.

The texture is from a rattlesnake
Then, added bones and skin, and animated it.

Having problems with this.

It looks awesome, but it only animates while in edit mode. It sits there and wriggles away.

But when I'm testing the level, it doesn't animate, it just "slides" around in a static frame.

Have I missed something?

Nope it should work.
I tried the snake with the new build. and it is stll working for me.
restart game guru. place the snake in the new map and let me know if its still not animating.
And check the properties path of the script.

Thanks

Okay, I restarted Gameguru and still same issue - it slides around but doesn't animate.

However, if I start a new empty level and place it, it works fine. I added it to some of the sample games that come with GG, and it works in some, not in others.

I'm wondering if it's a GG issue.

Yeah i noticed the same.
It you place to many animations or collide, they stop and not animating anymore.
So i think thats a gg issue, and hope they get sorted that out quicly.

Yeah it's gotta be GG related; I just added 5 velociraptors to the game and they all worked fine.

I hope it's fixed soon, the snake is awesome!

open the script (snake.lua) and move

Quote: "LoopAnimation(e);"

into the main(e) part of the script, that should fix it
